Yeah, right. The phrase, “Figures lie and liars figure” comes to mind. Do I need to remind you, dear reader, that these so-called “facts” come from a man who’s nickname and twitter handle is short for “Duplicitous?” (Not to mention he “embroiders” this “name” on all his pillow “shams”). All Dups is attempting to do is put perfume on a huge, steaming pile of doggie doo.

Just a few of the words used to describe the [X]perience that was [X]PENDAPALOOZA. For 24 hours, eaves flew fast and furious in a flurry of unfettered, and often ferocious frivolity, back and forth between traders inside the walls of the [X]PENDAPALOOZA Community. In the end, the community grew from zero to 283 members overnight, turning it into the 13th largest Personal Community on Empire Avenue.

At the time of this writing, out of the 283 members who joined the community, 61 had reported how much they spent “investing it forward” by buying shares and selflessly reinvesting whatever they received from others during the event. That number amounted to… Drumroll please….[Intrigued? Read More…]

At [X]actly 12:00 AM GMT today, the second [X]PENDAPALOOZA Event gets underway on Empire Avenue. If you are looking for a way to significantly [X]pand your portfolio, [X]tend your conne[X]ions, and witness an [X]change of Eaves that will [X]cede the limits of what you have previously thought possible, then you have no [X]cuse not to participate in this [X]travaganza.

So, what [X]actly is [X]PENDAPALOOZA? Allow me to [X]plain…

Monday is a day for buying, not for selling.

(Editor’s Note: Original Post Date – December 6, 2010)Monday is a day when many stocks are slipping into the yellow or even the red as their ticker scrolls across your screen. Just like in the real world, the Empire Avenue market moves in cycles. One of the cycles that is evident, is the general downturn of share prices across the board on Mondays, related to the fact many people have reduced activity over the weekend. Even influencers who were active over the weekend may experience a drop in share price as the effects of “global market gravity” conspire to tug their stock gently back to earth. This presents the savvy investor with an opportunity to snatch up some real bargains. On Mondays, graphs can be your best investment advisor. Look for some solid stocks with a steady rise over time that have dipped slightly over the weekend. Throw some eaves in and increase your holdings, before they resume their regular weekday activity and the share price begins to climb again.

Pay it Forward During [X]PENDAPALOOZA

The members (allegedly) of a group ([X]) that may (or may not) exist are sponsoring a special Empire Avenue event today (for the next few hours). During [X]PENDAPLOOZA, the likes of John (allegedly) Gushue (e)GUSHUE, Cindy (allegedly) Smith (e)REIGN, Darren (allegedly) MacEachern (e)ANGLER, Omar (allegedly) Habayeb (e)OKMMH, Ben (allegedly) Arledge (e)BEN, Michael (allegedly) Walker (e)EDM, Adriel (allegedly) Hampton (e)ADRIEL, and others (allegedly) are buying (big) into anyone who asks (for real). In exchange, you are encouraged to pay it forward and use the eaves you receive to build community by investing in others, making new connections, and meeting new people, rather than reciprocating a buy back in these generous (very) folks.

The first two hours of [X]pendapalooza have been insane, with millions of eaves flying back and forth across Empire Avenue in new investments. To join in the fun, post your Ticker in the [X]Bar Facebook Group [X]pendapalooza thread and visit the [X]Bar Chat on Empire Avenue.

Embrace Superstition The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia and let me be the first to say, that’s a friggin’ hard word to spell, let alone pronounce. Much like the last name of Empire Avenue CEO and semi-professional couch surfing champion Duleepa “Dups’ Wijayawardhana (e)DUPS. Now, in most parts of the world, Friday […]

Update Your Status. Over the weekend, I engaged in a little Empire Avenue Portfolio “Spring Cleaning.” I hadn’t sold anyone in, oh, I don’t know, 6 or 7 months, and let’s just say I was carrying around a lot of dead weight. Something drastic needed to be done. My goal: Trim my portfolio from around […]
